Correct,

The tray is only about 1/2 width. The printer has a clear area from 
front to back ONLY in the area where that tray feeds through.  
Oddly, it starts out with you feeding the tray in from the front of 
the printer unlike paper which goes in the back.

When you open the "Special door" for the CD tray, it lifts the print 
head assembly up for the extra clearance.

When I tore mine apart most of the way, I found "Something" blocking 
the path for sheet feeding from the back.  I didn't have time to dig 
deeper to find out what is there though.  My plan, if I ever get 
time to work on it again, is to NOT use the CD printing functions.  
Rather, to remove everything in the way for feeding the stock in 
from the back side.  I am hoping to trick the printer into thinking 
it is printing on regular paper.
